Investment funds partner joins in London 

Sidley Austin LLP has announced the appointment of Mateja Maher as a partner in its London office.

Mateja joins the global firm from private capital adviser Campbell Lutyens where he served as general counsel; he also spent more than four years as a partner in Kirkland & Ellis’s private funds practice. He now joins Sidley Austin’s investment funds team, bringing with him ample experience in both fund formation and secondary transactions.

William Kerr, global leader of Sidley’s Investment Funds practice, commented: ‘Mateja’s vast knowledge of private funds and secondary transactions, coupled with his blend of private practice and in-house experience, will be a beneficial resource for advising clients on their most complex matters. Our continued investment and growth in private funds provides a wealth of opportunity for talented lawyers such as Mateja to add value.’
